I love this photo. It’s from a set of early 1900s negatives I picked up at a garage sale. The expression on the man’s face makes me smile every time I look at it. I like it so much in fact that I’ve made it my new avatar.

Looking through old photos is something I never tire of. What I find sad is that everyone in this set of photos is almost certainly dead now. I’ve not been able to determine who these people are, but I would love to find their children or grandchildren and return the negatives to them. Not everyone cares as much about this sort of thing as I do, but c’mon, who wouldn’t love to suddenly find a couple hundred lost photos of their great grandparents?
